jackAiIconJack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Ben and his first mate Ryan consistently deliver outstanding fishing results, with customers catching sharks, redfish, and plenty of fish for dinner. Ben demonstrates excellent weather judgment and local knowledge, finding productive honey holes even when conditions start rough. His technical expertise shows in how quickly guests start hooking fish right from the start of trips, and families regularly return home with impressive catches and memorable photos. Ben's commitment to customer satisfaction goes beyond typical charter service - he once called guests back after storms cleared to complete a trip rather than settle for a cancellation. Ryan and Ben work as a phenomenal team, combining friendly personalities with genuine humor while maintaining focus on putting customers on fish. The convenient Gulfport Municipal Marina location and their dedication to ensuring no one goes home empty-handed has customers calling this the best charter they've ever taken.

Fun day! Our boys loved catching sharks and experiencing fishing for bigger fish. The captain kept an eye on the weather but we lucked out and had no rain just clouds which helped stay cool in August. The first mate was great. The boat was fun to ride on and the fishing fun.

OUTSTANDING. Captain Ben and his First Mate Ryan are great. They wanted to make sure that we found and got fish and they delivered. Honestly you would be crazy to use anyone else. They are docked right in front for easy access. They are very friendly with a great sense of humor. Their main concern is the customer. We had so much fun. Look at our photos and see a tiny section of our fun. Thanks again Captain Ben.

Ben and Ryan did an incredible job on our trip. It started off very questionable, with weather causing rough water and difficulty finding fish. At that time, captain Ben decided it was best to call the trip. He was content with not charging us anything even though we had been on the water for about an hour because he didn’t feel like conditions were good and the storms were preventing us from going out to the deeper water. We went back to dock and then left for home. A few hours later I received a call from Ben letting me know that the storms had moved and that he was still willing to do the trip if we were able. Thankfully, we were able and headed back to the port for one of the best trips I had! Those guys worked their butts off and it paid off for my family and I! Ben and Ryan are stand up guys and I highly recommend them!

Friendly and extremely helpful crew! Location is so convenient at Gulfport Municipal Marina...it's just about halfway between Louisiana and Alabama state lines and close to many attractions, like the new Mississippi Aquarium located just across Hwy 90. Great for locals to enjoy a day trip or for anyone to spend several days enjoying the Gulf Coast scenery, fabulous southern cuisine, impressive museums and other activities!
